Both the Church and the Barn have free on-site parking. At the barn there will be a parking lot behind the barn and there will be someone to guide you to the correct spot. We encourage you to carpool if applicable or possible as parking at the barn is a little more limited. Thank you!

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

We are having an unplugged ceremony, meaning that once the ceremony begins, we ask that all phones be put away and silenced. We want everyone to be fully present with us and for our photographer to be able to capture the best pictures which we will share with you. Once the ceremony is over feel free to take as many pictures as you'd like and don't forget to share them with us!

Question

How do I get to the reception venue?

Answer

there are a couple ways that the GPS will tell you to get to Middle Fork Barn. However, the best way is as followed. Please make sure to take I-81 towards Bristol. Take Exit 19 and turn left at the light. Follow US-58. If using a GPS, it should reroute you once you get off Exit 19. If you are not using a GPS follow US-58 and turn onto Rivermont Dr (Virginia 706). Turn right to stay on Rivermont Dr. The Barn entrance will be on the left.
